Note: Adventvs Probi Avg and Soli Invicto series without any mintmarks are rare and desirable. They were struck in Cyzicus, Serdica, Siscia, Rome and Lugdunum and were distributed as part of the imperial donativa during the Emperor's Adventvs (visit) to these cities. Attribution of these coins to a particular mint - due to lack of any mintmarks - is done on the basis of careful analysis of their style.

Provenance: ex Gianni collection
